Based in Big Bear Lake, California
Big Bear web design.
Built around your business.
A website should help someone do something: ask a question, book a visit, buy a product or choose your business. Lodgepole brings design, content and the working customer path together.
A full-service creative and technology agency led by Ben Brown, with 32 years of experience. Local roots, with work for businesses wherever they are.
A useful first release
Clear pages. A working path.
Website Launch + Care starts with up to five pages, one inquiry form connected to your inbox, basic search metadata and one pre-launch revision round. We check the important customer steps on phone and desktop before release.
Initial build planning range: USD $3,000–$7,500. Optional care is $150–$350/month, with a stated edit allowance. Hosting, domains and third-party tools are separate. Your proposal defines the final scope and price.
For the way Big Bear does business
Help people find their next step.
Local services
Explain what you do, where you work and how to request an estimate, without making visitors search for the essentials.
Shops and makers
Show the products clearly and connect the buying path. Shopify store builds have their own scope and platform costs.
Hospitality and experiences
Make hours, directions, seasonal information and the booking path easy to find. Existing booking systems can be reviewed for integration.
Growing teams
Connect inquiries to the people and tools that handle them. Start with one reliable handoff before adding complexity.
Search and local visibility
Make the business easier to understand.
Useful service pages, clear titles, crawlable navigation and consistent business information help customers and search engines understand the site. We can scope Google Business Profile work for eligible businesses, Search Console setup and measurement alongside the build.
Google controls indexing, eligibility and rankings. We do not promise a first-place result. The goal is a stronger site and a measurable path from discovery to contact.
How the work moves
Start small. Make it complete.
- Map the customer.Identify who the site is for and the action they need to take.
- Agree the scope.Define pages, content, integrations, price and approvals in writing.
- Build and test.Review the design and check navigation, forms and mobile behavior.
- Launch and care.Publish the agreed work and define who maintains it.
Before we begin
A few practical questions.
Can you improve an existing website?
Yes. We start by reviewing the working pages, customer path and systems behind it. The proposal can focus on improvements rather than assuming you need a complete rebuild.
Do you work only with Big Bear businesses?
No. Lodgepole is based in Big Bear Lake and works with businesses elsewhere too. The service scope is based on what the business needs.
Can you build an online store?
Yes. Shopify Launch + Care covers a defined store setup and up to 20 supplied products. Shopify plans, processing, apps and paid themes are separate. See the Shopify service for scope and initial pricing.
Does the free assessment include a $5,000 credit?
The assessment is free and includes a preliminary service-credit readiness check. A credit is not automatic. Lodgepole must review the project and confirm any amount, eligible work and terms in writing.
